Check Out What The 2020 Toyota Highlander Has To Offer
Interior and Dimensions
The Highlander's sleek new exterior design carries inside to a sophisticated and attractively styled interior. High-quality materials, soft-touch surfaces, and intuitively arranged controls highlight the decidedly upscale cabin, while numerous available comfort and convenience amenities enhance the experience.
With standard tri-zone automatic climate control and available heated and ventilated seats, the Highlander ensures passengers stay comfortable, no matter the weather outside. The interior offers numerous small-item storage solutions, and the open design of the storage compartments make it easy to keep track of your stuff. The available panoramic moonroof tilts open to catch some air or opens wide for an impressive view, and the power-retractable shade provides cover when the sunlight becomes too intense.
The Toyota Highlander comfortable accommodates up to eight people with second- and third-row bench seats. Available second-row captain's chairs reduce capacity to seven while increasing passenger space and improving ease of access to the back seats. The split-folding second- and third-rows can fold down in a variety of configurations for up to 84.3 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity.
Performance
Despite its larger dimensions, the Toyota Highlander gets up to speed with ease, even when loaded with passengers and cargo. Whether you need to safely pass a tractor-trailer or merge onto a crowded highway, the Highlander provides ample acceleration. Under the hood, a burly 3.5-liter V-6 propels the Highlander with 295 horsepower and 263 pound-feet of torque. The engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard front-wheel-drive. All-wheel-drive is an available option regardless of trim level.
Technology
Whether commuting from Worthington, OH, or taking a cross-country road trip, the Toyota Highlander keeps you connected while on the move. Standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide intuitive access to essential smartphone functions like hands-free communications, Google or Apple Maps, traffic apps, streaming media, weather information, your phone's assistant, and more. The standard eight-inch touchscreen display is upgradeable to an available largest-in-class 12.3-inch with vivid colors and split-screen capability. Seamless smartphone integration, Amazon Alexa capability, and a SiriusXM All Access three-month trial help you get the most out of every drive.
The Highlander's available digital rearview mirror features a high-resolution video feed with a wider field of vision than the typical rearview mirror. Furthermore, music lovers are sure to appreciate the immersive sound and fidelity of the available 11-speaker JBL w/Clari-Fi premium audio system.
Safety
No matter the destination, the best way to ensure that you arrive safely is to remain attentive behind the wheel. To that end, the Toyota Highlander does its part by including the complete Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 suite as standard equipment on all trims. These advanced driver-assistance technologies serve to enhance driver awareness, help better detect hazardous situations, and contribute to an overall safer and more enjoyable driving experience.
No matter which trim level you choose, you can enjoy the added peace of mind of features like:
- Pre-Collision System with Low-Light Pedestrian Detection
- Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
- Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
- Lane Tracing Assist
- Automatic High Beams
- Road Sign Assist
Optional driver-assistance features include Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, a 360-degree Bird's Eye View Camera, and front and rear parking sensors.
